Materials

Instructions

Step 1
First, cut the sleeves from the sweaters and cut them open to create snake body. Cut the head out with a large round shape, and cut other rectangle shapes from the sweaters, taper each piece until you get to the end of the snake body.

Step 2
Remember, to taper the body down towards the tail to get that snake shape.

Step 3
If alternating sweaters for the body pin one section with the coordinating next section, with their right sides together and sew.
Continue until you have created one side of the snake and repeat for the other side. Once both sides of the body have been sewn.

Step 4
Now cut out a small tongue shape from the wool felt. Place the tongue at the top of the snake, between the front and back head section, with the V towards the snake body. Place the right sides of the snake together, pin around the entire snake, and sew. Don’t forget to leave a 4 inches opening for turning.

Step 5
Turn the snake right side out, stuff with poly-fil, and slip stitch the opening closed. Lastly, sew eyes on the snake head.
